Benfica Sets Price for Real Madrid to Hire José Mourinho

Benfica announced the fee Real Madrid must pay to hire José Mourinho. The announcement came in an official communiqué issued Thursday afternoon.

As a club listed on the stock exchange, Benfica is required to disclose all financial moves publicly. The communiqué fulfilled that transparency obligation.

The fee applies only if Florentino Pérez ultimately assumes the presidency of Real Madrid. Pérez’s potential appointment links the payment to the club’s leadership change.

Should Pérez become president, Real Madrid will need to meet the disclosed price to secure Mourinho’s services. Benfica’s statement sets the monetary terms for the prospective transfer.
